Lineup baby strollers firm 4moms
Statistics show that most parents of newborns do not save on their children and buy children's products without regard for the economy in the country and around the world. The founders of 4moms, Robert Daley and Henry Thorne, relied on this when they created their own unique product - a robotic baby carriage.
Brand creation
The history of its creation began in 2005, when the owners of the brand presented at the exhibition in Pittsburgh shower head, which maintains the desired temperature. However, the novelty did not meet with the support of the audience, but the developers have received a lot of criticism from mothers with small children for doing something similar for children's baths. It was after this incident that the company abruptly changed its line of business, and work began on creating a group of goods for children. Hence the name of the company: 4moms literally sounds for moms and translates as "for moms".
The novelty created by 4moms engineers is the world's first robotic baby carriage, the most expensive and most sought-after product of the brand.
According to Forbes magazine, in America this unique product is offered for $ 850, in Europe its average price is about $ 1500. In this case, this stroller has a lot of fans. It is especially popular among young people who cannot imagine life without gadgets.
Features of models
The product has 4 wheels and 4 points of support. The manufacturers took care of both the children and their parents: this vehicle has many places for storing various small things - the back of the seat has a pocket for various small things. With him everything will be at hand: and wet wipes, and a bottle, and an e-book. But the main feature of this mobile device is not in this, but in the fact that it is fully automated.
Stroller charging from the network or directly on the go from the generators located on the rear wheels. They also feed off the LCD display, which shows a lot of interesting information - the amount of the distance traveled, the speed with which the object moves, and the temperature of the surrounding air. In addition, it displays messages about possible malfunctions in the mechanism and even how well the baby is sitting. For particularly busy parents who, even while walking, cannot part with a tablet or smartphone, there is a charger that allows you to always stay in touch. And also on the display you can choose the sex of the child.
Thanks to the available daytime and nighttime headlights, the brightness of which can be adjusted, as well as the functions of additional illumination of the road, this miracle of technology looks more like a luxury car than a baby carriage. In addition, the model provides a sensor that detects the presence of a child in a wheelchair that will block the mechanism and prevent it from folding. A stroller of the type "book".
Another nice addition, about which most accolades are written is the folding and unfolding of the stroller with the push of a single button. For mothers with a child in her arms, this function is simply irreplaceable. And if the battery of the stroller is discharged, it can also be easily assembled by hand using the handle located under the seat.
As for the color range, the model is designed in strict ascetic tones: the frame is made of gray chromed plastic, and the fabric part has a black non-marking color. The only bright spot is a mattress liner, for which designers offer several color solutions.
As you can see, the colors are universal, so when purchasing a stroller for a first child, you can not worry about the fact that it will not suit the second baby if he is born of the other sex.

In addition, the Moxi version provides for the replacement of the pleasure unit on the car seat. Thanks to the special adapters that come with the stroller, it is possible to install the seat not only of the 4moms brand, but also of many other companies.
Design flaws
However, with such a huge amount of useful and interesting features, there are parents who find some drawbacks in the wheelchair. If you do not consider the high cost, the claims of users are reduced to several points.
- Not enough roomy basket. There are complaints that when it is fully loaded, the wheelchair does not fold, and a fault message is displayed on the display.
- Origami model does not have a flip handle, which is also not adjustable in height, and also does not unfold the seat. However, manufacturers have taken into account this shortcoming and eliminated it in the next Moxi model.
- Claims to fabric covers: judging by the reviews, they easily get wet, and the task of removing and washing them is not easy.
- Great weight. Raise an item weighing 13-15 kg, and even several times a day, not every mother can. And if we add the child sitting in it to this weight, then the burden becomes completely unaffordable.
- White seat belts are very soiled, especially considering that they are in constant contact with the child.
